Probably my last of S1

I was probably going to be one-and-done with S1 after a jumbo hobby pack, but the Wally World I was in yesterday didn't have any OPC hangers, so I opted for this.

At least if I change my mind and decide to set build this, I won't need a second Tyler Clippard for my 2/14 collection.

Mets content! Like with Clippard, this was a dupe from my one pack of regular S1.

At least the Blue Jays content was both new cards.

Best photo in the pack is this Murphy, although the stadium in Milwaukee is the real star in the background.

How sad is it that the highlight in this was almost going through the card backs looking for the most interesting twitter handle?

My first of the rainbow parallels in 2017. Yay. Like with OPC, they're really unneeded when you have Chrome/Platinum.

The inserts probably save this for interest factor. The Silver Slugger are Walmart exclusives (cool to land a card that salutes a pitcher's hitting prowess!), but the more generic award winner ones are less-specific retail exclusives. I'm just happy that the Fire-ish Kipnis card uses five different images.
